My wife and I were visiting Sweden, staying (on land) in a friend's apartment, and wanted to extend our trip. I hoped we might be able to join a cruise directly from Stockholm. Well, I called Ivy, explained the situation, and she found us a beautiful suite on a Silver Seas cruise. This cruise was stopping in Stockholm on its way to St. Petersburg. Everyone said it was impossible to join a cruise in the middle of a its journey, but Ivy found a way! Apparently, there were some last minute cancelations, and a suite became available, we got it! Passports were updated, Ivy got us the Visas for Russia, booked the accommodations, and arranged for luggage transfers. And we spent 8 glorious days on a Silver Seas Cruise thanks to Ivy, which nobody thought we could do! And now I look forward to working with Ivy on our next journey or expedition!

Ivy, We had a FANTASTIC trips--one of my best ever! As you know, I had never experienced a TAUCK Tour and it was fabulous with only 18 of us on this trip. It was interesting, informative and, more importantly, FUN! Switzerland changed the Covid protocols in the middle of the trip which required us to be tested every 48 hours and we had to have the negative test to enter hotels, restaurants, etc. The positive aspect was that there were very few tourists (we saw only one tour bus parked in Lucerne and the local guide mentioned that there were usually 20!!!) We also felt comfortable when we were in the restaurants and hotels that everyone had their vaccines and had negative test results. The people in Switzerland without vaccines sat outside (so different from Florida). Thank You so much for your valuable assistance in planning this trip which was really fabulous. I am still smiling, Gerri

We made an appointment with Ivy to help plan our Hawaii trip. We were uncertain of how we wanted to enjoy our time in Hawaii and Ivy quickly got a feel for what she thought might work for us. Within a few days she emailed us a detailed itinerary that we were actually quite pleased with and we didn�t make any changes. Additionally, she came in just under our budget! We had some follow up questions concerning our itinerary and Ivy quickly got back to us with the answers. Her knowledge and professionalism can�t be beat. We would highly recommend Ivy and Prestige Travel.
Again, thank you.

Forget Kayak, Trivago, whatever! Save time and money! I was dealing with Barbara, amazing experience! I was trying to coordinate our flights for me and my girlfriend, who lives out of town. After several days of searching online with no success, I was becoming very discouraged! I googled "Best travel agency in Vero Beach" and Prestige was the top of the list. Within less than 20 minutes, we got our perfect flights! I will never go anywhere else! Thank you so much, Barbara for turning our special trip to New Orleans from a dream into a reality!

Prestige Travel has always been very professional in handling my travel arrangements. Ivy Tjok has handled every detail expeditiously and with dispatch. Sometimes I have had to change my plans on short notice and she has always been very willing and responsive. She has very good attention to detail. Overall, Ivy and the rest of her staff at Prestige have been dependable and a pleasure to work with.

There are many travel agents but few travel consultants you can completely trust. Ivy and her staff are the ones to go to if you want a professionally organized vacation. Whether it is a cruise, sponsored land experience or on your own, Ivy can make sure all the details are properly prepared, and executed. One of the many things I like about Ivy and Prestige Travel is the fact if they say they will return your call at a specific time; count on it being done. True professionals all!

This is the third trip we have planned with Prestige Travel. We just returned from a Viking cruise on the Rhine followed by time in Barcelona. It was a celebration of our 50th anniversary and Ivy made sure everything was perfect and it was. She arranged for us to have a private guide in Barcelona which was wonderful. She leaves no stone unturned and we will continue to trust our travel arrangements to Ivy and Prestige Travel. We do not live in Vero Beach and do our planning with Ivy by phone and email and it works just great. We highly recommend Prestige Travel!

Ivy of Prestige Travel is the most amazing travel agent I have ever worked with. Ivy just planned a trip to Egypt with a Nile River Cruise for our family using Insight Vacations. Each day of the trip was perfect, well planned, the guides were outstanding and our Nile ship was top notch. Ivy booked air line reservations from 3 cities (3 family members in different US cities) in the US to Cairo and each flight without problems and all connections were secure.
My husband and I then traveled to Dubai from Cairo and Ivy selected the Taj Hotel Downtown and it was perfect! Thanks to Ivy's connection with Taj Hotels we had a glorious international full buffet breakfast daily, free internet and a generous food voucher to use in the Taj Hotel. Ivy booked our flights back to the US from Dubai and the flight was ideal.
We will continue to work with Ivy for years to come and hope our children do also.
Cheers to traveling with Ivy!

If Ivy of Prestige Travel of Vero Beach Florida was in the Olympics, she would 5 Gold Medals. My Mother lived in Vero for 30 years and always told us that Ivy was the Best. Now my wife and I reside in Southampton, NY, but from my Mom's raving over Prestige and Ivy I said let's give them a try. Well after many cruises and land tours all we can say is we struck Gold with Ivy. Not only were all the accommodations 5 stars but in many instances saved us a lot of dollars. When the final payment would arrive, Ivy would call us with "I have an offer you can't refuse ". So let this be a lesson to all, it doesn't matter where you live or where the travel agency is located. When you find the best, hold on to the best. Ivy you are the Best.

I've been using them for ever. I don't even live in Vero Beach. I'm on the Panhandle and in NY. I would never use anyone else. Ivy does the most amazing job and has gotten us the most wonderful hotels and accommodations I don't know how she does it. They are Superb!

Dear Ivy,
Boy, are you good at your job!!! Our trip to Italy exceeded all expectations and then some. Your suggestions for hotels were absolutely spot on for their architectural beauty, impeccable service, and unmistakable charm.
Starting with the Grand Hotel Excelsior Victoria with its unbelievable view of the bay of Naples. Our room was decorated with fine antiques. It's balcony gave us an opportunity to watch from high above the arrival and departures of the ferries crossing to bay to Capri or Naples. In the distance we saw Mt. Vesuvius, and the view never got old. One of the most outstanding features of the hotel {besides its warm and friendly staff} was the most incredible and beautiful staircase we have ever seen. We never took the elevator because walking the stairs was a spiritual experience. The hotel's location was also so central that walking the town was easy and convenient. There was even an elevator which brought right to the harbor. What a great start to our trip!
Next was the Villa La Massa which provided a whole new and wonderful experience. Our room was breathtakingly elegant. The scenery from the full length multi-pained window at the foot of our four poster bed was a sweeping view of the meandering Arno River, and in the distance on the hillside was an imposing golden villa, as well as delightful smaller homes. The gardens were lovely and planted with the largest dahlias I have ever seen. There were fruit trees and olive trees and vegetables and herbs. The hotel was in a quiet valley outside the noisy bustle of Florence. They provided transportation on a regular basis which took you right to the Pont de Vecchio. Again the staff was warm and friendly, and couldn't do enough for us. Did I mention the lovely spa and steam room?
And then we were off to the famous Belmond Hotel Splendido. This hotel is indeed SPLENDID. Upon our arrival the desk clerk announced {with a big smile and playful manner} that our room was now a suite. We had been upgraded. Wow! In our lovely room we sat on the balcony and savored the breathtaking view of Portofino Harbor with its glittering turquoise water. We watched a variety of boats from small fishing boats to imposing sail boats and yachts move in and out of the harbor. The light, the color, and the pure physical beauty of the place was such an experience. All of that combined with a jovial staff that just couldn't do enough for you, made it such a memorable place, I already want to go back.
And then there is The Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como. The hotel is definitely like something out of a movie. {Grand Budapest Hotel comes to mind} It's physical beauty and central location cannot be beat. The hotel's interior is as spectacular and awesome as its exterior. The dramatic views and cultural opportunities of Lake Como should be on everyone's bucket list One travels by boat to wonderful hillside towns that have been charming visitors for centuries, and we were overwhelmingly charmed every day we were there. The staff at the Tremezzo were all so obliging and friendly. They even knew what kind of coffee to give me with my breakfast. Speaking of breakfast every morning was a feast. {And that was true at all our hotels, by the way}
So Ivy, in short, our trip to Italy was SUPRIMO thanks to you. Grazie Bene
Can't wait to return.
Best.

I wanted you to know how perfect our stay was in Paris. The Pont Royal hotel was so caring and kind to us. One day we arrived from a trek to a museum and stopped for a sandwich at the bakery. We returned to the hotel and the bartender set us up in the little lounge with placemats, a runner and napkins and hot chocolate! It was precious! but cold and rainy outside. It didn't hold us up at all. Although it seemed at times we had walked to Normandy and back, we loved it all! Thanks so much for your assistance as well as Viti & Jackie.

All I can say is WOW! What a fabulous trip we had. Everything, hotels, tour, guides, champagne. Dinner at Le Champagne was perfect. We cannot thank you enough for making our 55th Anniversary trip so memorable. Than you so much for all your hard work. It is so appreciated.

WOW! Thank you for a great surprise. We are on the ship and all is well. Our cabin is great and our butler is Sanjay, who Carol wants to adopt and bring back to Vero. We can't wait for dinner in Le Champagne. A very special treat. Thanks again.
PS. The Waterfront was terrific. We had a corner room, great big windows, probably the best room in the hotel. The Fairmont Gold is the way to go. The lounge had wonderful appetizers too. Tea at the Empress was delicious. A step back in time. On the way over and back, I sat up front with the pilot. Trip is going great! Weather couldn't be better.
Best regards,
Peter

It was a trip of a lifetime for sure! David and I appreciated all you did in coordinating and guiding us thru our first 'real' trip on a ship! We will certainly enjoy marking all our adventures on the World Map you gave us. It will really help us see where we should go next. Could that be anywhere there is not a marking pin?
The beautiful beige and white sierra lap blanket will come in handy too. It will be great to cover ourselves as we rest on the couch dreaming of our next adventure. Thank you so much for the beautiful gifts and for being you!

Wanted you to know that my granddaughter and I did enjoy this cruise - in spite of the heat. What made the cruise for Alicia were the dinner seating companions - two couples in late twenties, early thirties. One couple from Wales and the other from Ireland. They included Alicia in activities after dinner and didn't seem to mind having an older person during dinner. In fact, for three nights in a row the person above the head waiter had to ask us to leave so they coule get ready for next seating - all in good humor. Le Meriden was great. Thanks for your input.
